2020 Law School Rankings Leak?

Spivey consulting posted a possible leak of the new USNWR “Best Law Schools” rankings on twitter. As to its origins, we are working on finding out more, but it has the feel of being from the source.

There’s a USNWR ranking floating around out there that includes sloppy metadata straight from the .xlsx it was taken from, along with material errors/omissions, so caveat emptor!— Derek T. Muller (@derektmuller) March 6, 2019

We want to get this out quickly, so here it is. We will update this story as more information becomes available.

Hey Evan and Josh! Question for you! I bought the 3 month LSAT schedule. As I’m in the fundamental phase of LSAT prep, should I be doing every single problem in the drills or save some for later in the process?
